Allergies are an Immune System Ailment involving unusual sensitivity to the action of various Environmental Stimuli (Antigens) and foods. Allergies are also caused by Eosinophils (specialized Cells of the Immune System) when they release Hydrogen Peroxidase at the site of the Allergy in an attempt to destroy what they “believe” to be Antigens.

Substances that may Cause Allergies
– Excessive consumption ofAlcohol (ethanol) may increase the risk of Allergie
– Many types of Lectins may cause Allergies
– Gluten may cause allergies (Gliadin of Gluten may be responsible for (Food) Allergies)
– Undigested dietary Proteins may become Antigens (usually due to faulty Digestive Systems allowing dietary Proteins to overload the Digestive System)
– Casein may be responsible for (Food) Allergies
– May some people are allergic to exogenous Collagen – Collagen Replacement Therapy is therefore unsuitable for these persons
– Candida albicans proliferation may allow Allergens to enter the circulatory system, causing Allergies
– Elevated IgE levels (which are often inherited) have been implicated in Allergies
– Excessive consumption of Simple Sugars may cause Food Allergies
– Tyramine from food like (Cheese, Beer, Wine, Chocolate, Salami, Brewer’s Yeast, Lentils, Bananas, Pineapple, Raisins)  may cause
Allergies (due to Tyramine stimulating the release of excessive amounts of Histamine from Mast Cells leading to Allergic reactions).
toxic Effects of Tyramine
– Causing the release of Histamine from Mast Cells which leads to the Allergic reaction
–  May increase Blood Pressure
–  May cause Lethargy
– May cause Headache
– May cause over-stimulation of the Adrenal Glands (which may result in depletion of the body’s Norepinephrine reserves)
– May cause Migraines
– May cause Mood swings
– May cause  Depression
– May cause Anxiety

Allergies may cause those Ailments
– Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
– Crohn’s Disease
– Celiac Disease
– Indigestion
– Ulcerative Colitis
– Duodenal Ulcers
– Otitis Media
– Eye Inflammation
–  Frequent Urination
– Cancer
– Fatigue
– Rheumatoid Arthritis
– Tinnitus
– Migraines
– Mouth Ulcers
– Autism
– Asthma
– Dermatitis
– Psoriasis
– Eczema
– Sinusitis
– Hives

Diagnosing Allergies
– History
– IgE Test
– Elimination diet/ Food Challenge Test, involves the elimination of specific Foods from the diet and then rechallenging with those same Foods,
observing the reiduction of Allergy symptoms. Challenge can be from 10 – 21 days.
– Radio-Immunodiffusion Test (RAST)

Hypochlorhydria is a deficiency of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Up to 30% of people aged 65 and over suffer from seriously diminished Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) production. Hydrochloric Acid, HCl, is a strong Mineral Acid produced by the Parietal Cells of the Stomach.  It comprises 0.2% – 0.5% of Gastric Juice. Hydrochloric Acid regulates the acidity of the Stomach optimize Digestion.  This occurs primarily through Hydrochloric Acid stimulating the conversion of Pepsinogen to Pepsin (a Proteolytic (Protein-digesting) Enzyme).

 Functions and Uses of Hydrochloric Acid
– Hydrochloric Acid regulates the acidity of the stomach to optimize Digestion
–  Hydrochloric Acid stimulating the conversion of Pepsinogen to Pepsin (a Proteolytic (Protein-digesting) Enzyme)
–  May kill some forms of Bacteria – Detrimental  in the Stomach and Small Intestine
–  May suppress or kill Helicobacter Pylori (H-pylori)
– Food Allergies resulting from the insufficient endogenous production of Hydrochloric Acid
– Histidine absorption required Hydrochloric acid
– Beta-Carotene absorption required Hydrochloric acid
– Hydrochloric Acid facilitates the flow of Bile
– Calcium and Magnesium absorption required Hydrochloric acid
– Zinc absorption required Hydrochloric acid
– Vitamin C absorption required Hydrochloric acid

Sign and Symptom
– Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome (SIBO) may be an underlying cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
– May cause Malabsorption (including Malabsorption of Vitamin B12 and Steatorrhea).
– May cause Diarrhea
– May cause Flatulence.
– May be an underlying cause of some cases of Rheumatoid Arthritis
– May be an underlying cause of Fatigue

Substances Alleviate Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome (SIBO)
1- Microorganisms May useful for the treatment of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome
– Lactobacillus rhamnosus
–  Lactobacillus Casei
–  Lactobacillus Casei
2- Several types of Pharmaceutical Antibioticsreduce the bacterial overgrowth associated with Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome
– Amoxicillin
– Tetracycline
– Clindamycin
– Gentamycin
– Neomycin
– Metronidazole
3- Hydrochloride may be useful for the treatment of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome (SIBO)

Toxic Effects of (excessive) Cortisol
1- Accelerate the Aging process
2- Suppress Immune system
3- My cause Hypertension
4- May cause Fatigue
5- May cause Insulin Resistance
6- May contribute to the Obesity
7- Increase the rate of Neuron detain Alzheimer’s
8- Cortisol increase Appetite  (leading to Binge Eating during periods of Stress).  
9- Depression  patients are found to have elevated (>0.594 ng/ml of saliva) evening Cortisol levels. 
10- Insomnia
11- Migraines
12- Increase risk for PMS
13- Cortisol is produced and released within the body in response to Stress.
